Incoterms can be thought of as a contract within a contract because they define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers for delivery of goods. Terms such as FOB, CIF and Ex-Works help to avoid misinterpretations of contractual terms when dividing the costs and responsibilities between buyer and seller. Roy Becker will provide expert information, insight and examples on how to properly link Incoterms to: Sales quotes to determine a selling price; Logistics to determine who prepares what documents; and Documentary requirements, which affect your ability to collect payment. Personnel involved in sales, logistics, credit and supply chain decisions must have a clear understanding of the meaning of these terms. The registration fee includes a copy of "Incoterms " - the official ICC rules for the interpretation of trade terms.
